This is a lovely simple recipe for Docinhos de Abobora, the famous Brazilian candy treats. I have not tried this recipe yet, so cooking time is approximate, I'm posting for ZWT 4.

50 candies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups grated coconut
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon ground cloves
butter, for greasing
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

1
Place all the ingredients in a large, heavy bottomed pan. Cook on a medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick, or until it reaches the medium-ball stage (238 to 245 degrees F.).
2
Turn onto a buttered platter to cool.
3
Shape into small balls (you may need to grease your hands lightly with a little butter) and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
4
Place in paper petit fours / bonbon cases.
